This topic is about how to find the (common) ground on a gamepad. First answers? "go by an ipac", "don't waste your time". Who's bitching?
Talking about time: I hacked one yesterday evening. I don't have much time either and I have all the money I want to buy an i-pac but I find convenient to do it that way and i ENJOY it. Total time for wiring (with terminals) and hacking? 1h30. That's pretty decent.
Now could we go back to the topic?

I like hacking the gamepads, in fact I love to solder in general. Even if I had quick disconnects I would still solder onto the buttons.

I didn't pick on you for wanting to hack gamepads.
I didn't mock you for your "secret" solder point, which would have been obvious to ANYBODY who knows anything about electronics or can follow a circuit.
If you choose to mock, best that you actually know some ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.
haruman can mock, because he has skills that transcend his ---smurfy--- RatShack equipment.
You don't.
EDIT: I posted it, so I have to let this stand. I think that Cory needs to stand down a bit. He is new, he is young and he doesn't know ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. No real need for me to go off on him, but he is the kinda guy who posts his projects in the main thread and perhaps needs to be kicked in the ass.

Nope ... was out of line, but I posted it originally, so I have to take the hits.
